Welcome to Day 2 of our Rhythms of Faith devotional series, where we continue exploring the life-giving practice of Sabbath. In this episode, Pastor Aaron from Christ Church Crossroads unpacks the deeper why behind Sabbath—why we need it, why it’s so hard to embrace, and why it’s essential for our restless souls.

Drawing from John Mark Comer’s The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and timeless wisdom from Ecclesiastes, Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine, and Dallas Willard, we’ll explore how our infinite desires point us to a profound truth: we were made for God, and only in Him can we find true rest.

In a world of materialism, busyness, and endless distractions, Sabbath isn’t just a day off—it’s a sacred stop designed to recalibrate our hearts and refocus our desires on what truly matters. Join us as we dive into Exodus 35:1-2 and discover how Sabbath is God’s gift to help us break free from the cycle of restlessness and find our home in Him.

✨ Key Takeaways:

Why our desires can never be fully satisfied by the world.
How Sabbath helps us confront our restlessness and reconnect with God.
Practical insights for embracing Sabbath as a rhythm of faith.
